This is one of the reasons I love living in New Mexico. I had to completely stop and bear witness to this storm. Isn't this just gorgeous. This might be my favorite photo, ever, of all my years with photography. What a moment.
I should enter it in a contest, offer it for professional publication, commercialize it, sell it. But what am I doing? Putting it out there and letting it loose in the world. For free. Click. It's out of my control. Some of the best things in life are free. I give you my no-cost experience. If you use this, please link back.
For a room with no views I put together a digital slide show of my western landscapes from Colorado and New Mexico. I used iPhoto and iMovie on my mac and it plays on a tv screen like a digital photo frame. It gives my room views. Stunning views: The West is (so) within the room. Next to make: digital art (think MOMA and MET art - Renoirs and such).

I love the afternoon showers in the mountains of NM with the spectacular sights and smells they produce. I'm glad you had your camera!

That is indeed wonderful. I like your generosity in sharing your work.
The older I get and the worse the man-world gets, the more I appreciate nature.

That is spectacular. Someday I hope to be able to witness that in person.
